To Deep State's Michael G. Vickers: Didn't you hear? The US had 'regime change' in Nov. 2016--you were voted out. US taxpayers are no longer your slaves. Blood-sucking neocons like you have existed only via access to unlimited US taxpayer dollars. We've even been forced to pay for both "sides" in Syria: CIA and Pentagon 'backed' forces had to fight each other. 3 of our elite Green Berets were murdered training your filthy 'proxy' jihadists. Several decades and trillions of US dollars later, your 'strategy' has ruined the Middle East, Africa, and Europe, and left a more dangerous world for Americans. As a neocon, you wouldn't care because you're incapable of shame

Even with his impressive sounding bio as former assistant
secretary of defense for special operations, low-intensity conflict and
interdependent capabilities and undersecretary of defense for
intelligence during the Bush and Obama administrations, Vickers will not be recognizable to most.

Michael G. Vickers is a key US strategist who funded Afghan jihadists in the 1980's and jihadists in Syria after 2011....

CIA's Afghan Jihad Mastermind

Vickers was considered the CIA's top strategic mastermind tasked with
choosing weapons systems and implementing guerrilla warfare strategies
for the various mujahideen groups fighting the Soviets in the 1980's
war. This of course included supplying mass quantities of
Raytheon's Stinger heat-seeking anti aircraft missiles to Afghan
commanders like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and others now considered notorious
terrorists by the West. Hekmatyar was a close ally of Bin Laden
and had a reputation of throwing acid in women's faces should they be
caught participating in public life. After 9/11 Charlie Wilson admitted
that he "lived in terror" that one of the hundreds of Stinger missiles
which were never recovered (and whereabouts still unknown) would be used
to take down a civilian airliner.

According to Crile's exhaustively researched book, Vickers was the CIA's chief strategist that made it all happen, even expanding the weapons program beyond all historical precedent in the mid-80's:

"He
[Vickers] was confident that the Stinger would add a lethal new
dimension to the anti-aircraft mix that was already beginning to pay
off. He had gone to great lengths to make sure the Afghans would be
properly trained. In the past, U.S. trainers had taught the Pakistanis
how to use the new weapons, and the Pakistanis had then instructed the
mujahideen. This time Vickers proposed that the American specialists go
into the camps dressed like mujahideen to personally supervise the
training.

...Now that the anti-aircraft strategy was in place, Vickers insisted
that his master plan, spelling out precise how the CIA should support
the Afghans for the next three years was complete."

"President
Ronald Reagan understood the potential of covert proxy wars to alter
global power balances. Through stepped-up support for the Afghan
mujahideen and other anti-Communist movements, and other, complementary
strategic policies, he won the Cold War. It took the Carter and Reagan
administrations more than five years to come up with a war-winning
strategy (work that I helped to lead as a CIA officer) against the
Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The same could be done in Syria today."

Vickers himself, as Defense Under Secretary for Intelligence until 2015, oversawaspects of US covert action in Syria.
The man has literally gone from overseeing the CIA's covert support of
Afghan mujahideen to overseeing US support for jihadists in Syria to now
declaring war on Trump. The deep state has gone full circle here. But
it's our sincere hope that America finally defeats all the jihadists and
their enablers both at home and abroad."
